Experienced dog walker/pet carer

Pet care experience

I am currently working as a dog walker in Maidstone where I have 4 regular dogs I walk and am looking to expand my client base. I have also done a number of dog sits and drop in visits for a range of clients. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, both rescues from Serbia. I have been doing dog walking for friends and family since I was a teenager but I got the opportunity to work with dogs more as an adult when I got involved with the charity that rescued my own dogs. I went out to Serbia on 3 occasions with the charity to help out at a dog shelter there which is home to 100s of dogs. I have also done fostering through this same charity. Through all of these experiences I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dogs so I feel confident handling dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. I currently also volunteer one day a week at an animal sanctuary which is home to farm animals, dogs, cats, small mammals and much more! I have volunteered there for 2 years and made my way up to a head volunteer role where I am in charge of other volunteers as well as all 300 animals. This has given me great experience in dealing with all kinds of animals.

Super understanding with our new rescues, and knew how to deal with them being uncertain with new people. Reported back on how they'd done during the visit and left the house secure. Thanks very much

We felt completely comfortable leaving Emma in charge of our two dogs (one old and small, the other young and big) for the evening. Came home to happy pooches and wouldn't hesitate to leave them with her again.

Emma is lovely and seems to have a real affinity with dogs. She was very calm & confident with our 2 yr old Golden Doodle & we were not at all worried about leaving him for the evening on the first time if Rmma sitting for us. We got back to find a happy pooch and Emma also happy with how the evening had gone. Would def recommend her and won’t hesitate to use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I will ensure you and I feel comfortable taking care of pets in your home by making sure I am aware of all the boundaries of the pet, where their food is kept and any hazards to be aware of etc. I also have a lot of experience walking dogs outside the home and would feel confident handling different kinds of dogs in this environment.

Information Emma G. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know if your pet has any behavioural, medical or dietary issues ahead of time so that I can best prepare for how to care for them and exercise them.

A typical day

I always strive to provide pets with the most fulfilling experience I can give them. I vary my walking routes and the parks we visit in order to do this. I am ensuring I am fully engaged with the pet when I am with them while keeping on top of any training the owners have asked me to do.
